Version: 3.0.3
Released on: 2016-07-14
Changelog
Compatible: 5.1.1.1, 5.0.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.0, 2.3.4

We keep the redefined method in a new http server class, this is because in other parts of logstash we might be using puma as webserver, for example in the sinatra part we need this method to actually return the REQUEST_PATH, so it can actually infer the right resource to use. Fixes https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-http/issues/51

edit

Value type is hash
Default value is {}

Add a field to an event

edit

Value type is hash

`codec`

edit

Value type is codec

Add a unique ID to the plugin instance, this ID is used for tracking information for a specific configuration of the plugin.

   id => "ABC"

`tags`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 4

Maximum number of threads to use

`type`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Add a type field to all events handled by this input.

Types are used mainly for filter activation.

The type is stored as part of the event itself, so you can also use the type to search for it in Kibana.

If you try to set a type on an event that already has one (for example when you send an event from a shipper to an indexer) then a new input will not override the existing type. A type set at the shipper stays with that event for its life even when sent to another Logstash server.

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Username for basic authorization

`verify_mode`

edit

Value can be any of: none, peer, force_peer
